My music is best understood by children and animals.

Conformism is so hot on the heels of the mass-produced avant-garde that the 'ins' and the 'outs' change places with the speed of mach 3.

I never understood the need for a "live" audience. My music, because of its extreme quietude, would be happiest with a dead one.

A cultural snob is someone who claims to be familiar with the incomprehensible.

A plague on eminence! I hardly dare cross the street any more without a convoy, and I am stared at wherever I go like an idiot member of a royal family or an animal in a zoo; and zoo animals have been known to die from stares.

In order to create there must be a dynamic force, and what force is more potent than love?

Music is...the coordination between man and time.
